MOVIE OF THE WEEK: Strictly Ballroom

"Strictly Ballroom" is an infectious little film by the colourful Australian director Baz Luhrmann. In his directing debut, Luhrmann already showcases his skill at filming the theme of love and his impeccable ear for music. His love of music and the performance arts in general shines through in every film he makes. I’ve now seen all of his films (there are only 4) and this is actually my favourite one. If you like dance movies, I guarantee you’ll have a great time with this one.
